XMAS WORKSHOP: Emoji Stamps | 3D打印+激光切割印章

It means you'll be offering gitfs to your loved ones and along with those gifts, cards. Okay, maybe nowadays people just send each other messages over Wechat and in those messages, emojis. So why not make it more personal again by going back to an old tradition (cards) with a contemporary twist (emojis)?

In this workshop you're going to make emoji stamps to stamp your cards with. But more than making the stamps themselves, you'll take away with you a couple of digital fabrication skills: you'll learn how to 3D print the body, then we'll show you how to transform a simple image into vectors to, finally, laser engrave and cut the shape of your stamp.

And then you'll take your stamp home with you to either stamp your cards or offer them stamp itself as a gift!

Things you should bring:
// If you know how to use Illustrator, you can bring your laptop, charger and mouse and make stamps of anything
// If you don't know how to use Illustrator, don't worry. You'll still see how it gets done, learn how to use the laser and take your emoji stamp home with you
// Your passion, curiosity, and questions

Price includes:
_PLA (body) and wood (motif), at least 1 stamp (if time allows, you can make more)

// STEP 2: Vectorize an image (demo) & Learn how to use the laser cutter (Stamp's motif)
_See how an image is transformed into vectors ( the emoji's downloaded from the internet)
_Prepare the file for the laser cutter
_Learn how to use the laser cutter
_Engrave and cut the emoji for your stamp
